if we were able to increase the intelligence of deer just slightly, then logically they would become aware of the dangers of running in front of cars.
Nearly all other animal species have learned to avoid cars, so it seems reasonable that deer must simply be missing something.

#Explosives and Pesticides Can Be detected by Using Bee Venom MIT scientists discover that bee venom can detect explosives and some pesticides.
they can create ultra-sensitive detectors for explosives such as TNT, as well as at least two different types of pesticides.
and this is the first time researchers have seen the proteins react to explosives. The new sensors are hypersensitive to explosives
with the ability to detect even single molecules of the chemicals, and further, they can even detect the molecules the explosive chemicals form into as they break down.
The sensors can provide experts with a fingerprint#of each explosive as well as the state of its breakdown.
But the sensors arent just useful for explosives#the researchers found that the coated nanotubes can also detect two pesticides that contain nitro-aromatic compounds.
This means the sensors can be useful not only to anyone from airport security officials to military troops,
